Now that I read your duplicated question: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/38910-grouping-observations-with-specific-characteristics
I understand that you do NOT want to gather but sort.
Geoff already answered your question, you have to use sortrows.

Use the multi-output form of unique() to convert string variables to numeric indices.
When you have the numeric indices, use accumarray() to sum the data into a 3D table (date, country, I-value).
Either compute further things with that table or output it, skipping the 0 entries (the ones for which there was no input data)

Note: this solution is for adding together all of the values associated with a particular triple of attributes. If you only have one value for any given combination, then this approach is not appropriate, but sortrows() would be appropriate.
